Munich Germany's Oktoberfest 2007

One of the biggest festivals in the world is Munich Germany's Oktoberfest and what trip to Germany would be complete without expirenceing this world famous celebration. Be careful when making your travel plans. When is Oktoberfest? This may sound like a ridiculous question but the answer may surprise you. Oktoberfest in Germany actually takes place in September because the October fall weather can be brutal. The first ever Octoberfest was held in 1810 to celebrate a royal wedding with beer,horse racing, and food. Well, the German beer was the most popular attraction at Octoberfest and the festival continued and evolved to what you can expirence today.



Octoberfest starts with an elaborate opening ceremony of sorts with the mayor arriving by horse-drawn cart. All of the men are in traditional German coustume complete with their lederhosen and the world wide party is begun when the mayor taps the first keg and shouts "o'zapfts is". Octoberfest is a sixteen day long festival can be overwhelming so maybe just plan to stay a few days and sample the beer, ride the carnival rides, and enjoy some of the best German food.

Kacy first off you need to learn how to type. Secondly, I too am 50% German and look forward to visiting every couple of years... it is a fun and educational place for anyone who chooses to go. Thirdly, I don\'t understand why you would post such a comment just after you place a positive note. Are you mentally ok? Or maybe it is because you want to just hear yourself.
